The Skapa BB is the two-shade Skapa both inshape B, opal glass with integrated LED throwing lightup and down, 20W for 1,960lm at 3000K, dimmable.

Two people are required to install this fitting. That isTelbixs own instruction for the Skapa range and it has never appeared on a product page.Tell your electrician before the day one person arriving alone will not be ableto finish it.

There are four shade shapes, and the code tells you which

This is the thing the Skapa listings have never explained. The range usesfour glass shapes A, B, C and D at meaningfully different sizes:

• A 110mm
• B 90mm (the smallest)
• C 250mm
• D 310mm (the largest)

The two letters in the order code are the two shades you get. This one isBB two of the small 90mm shape. A DD would betwo of the largest; an AB mixes shapes.Tell us the combination you want and we will build it.

The weight tells you how much that changes things

A finished Skapa weighs anywhere from 1.22kg to 5.93kg depending on whichshades you choose nearly a fivefold range. This BB, with two of the smallest shape,sits at the light end. If you are specifying a large combination,mention the weight to your electrician.

Up and down from one fitting

Most pendants light downward and leave the ceiling dark. The Skapa doesboth a pool below and a wash above which lifts the whole room and is whya single one can carry a space that would otherwise need a pendant plus something else.

1,960 lumens from 20 watts

98 lumens per watt genuinely efficient, and a real working output ratherthan a decorative glow. CRI>80 at 3000K.

It dims

The Skapa platform specifies TRIAC (leading-edge) dimming.Check compatibility with us if yours is trailing-edge or smart.

The LED is integrated

Included and not replaceable as globes which on a two-shade fitting is theright call, since two mismatched globes would be obvious through opal glass. Three-year replacementwarranty.

Questions

What do the letters in the code mean?

The two shade shapes you get. The range uses four A (110mm), B (90mm), C (250mm) and D (310mm). This BB is two of the small 90mm shape; a DD would be two of the largest.

Can I choose a different combination?

Yes that is what the range is for. Tell us the shapes you want and we will build it.

Is there anything unusual about installing it?

How heavy is it?

What does up-and-down lighting give me?

A pool of light below and a wash above. It lifts the whole room, which is why a single Skapa can carry a space that would otherwise need a pendant plus something else.

How bright is it?
